Sans Other Pofo 3 is a very bold, very narrow, low contrast, italic, tall x-height font visually similar to 'Redig' by Great Scott, 'PODIUM Sharp' by Machalski, 'TS Plakette' by TypeShop Collection, and 'Herokid' by W Type Foundry (names referenced only for comparison).

A tightly condensed, heavy sans with a consistent forward slant and tall proportions. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with minimal modulation and squared terminals that often finish in slightly chamfered or clipped corners. Counters are compact and vertical, creating a dense rhythm, while curves are restrained and tend to resolve into angular transitions. The overall construction reads as sturdy and mechanical, optimized for bold, stacked forms rather than open, airy spacing.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, headlines, sports and event graphics, packaging, and bold labeling. It works well where vertical economy is needed and where a condensed, energetic voice helps information cut through at a distance.
The tone is forceful and energetic, with a sporty, industrial edge. Its compressed stance and aggressive slant convey motion and urgency, lending a headline-driven, attention-grabbing character with a subtle retro display feel.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and space efficiency through a condensed, slanted, all-business construction. Its uniform heft and clipped geometry suggest a goal of delivering a fast, industrial headline voice that remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Uppercase forms appear particularly rigid and rectangular, while lowercase maintains the same condensed skeleton for strong consistency. Numerals follow the same blocky, clipped-corner logic, supporting cohesive use in scores, labels, and short data-driven callouts. The density and narrow proportions can reduce readability in longer passages, especially where tight counters accumulate.
